Admission to school

Parents who need to make an application based on medical, physical or psychological grounds.

If your child or a member of your family living at the same address has a serious medical, physical or psychological need that makes it essential that the child attends the preferred school, then you must tick the appropriate box in your child's application to indicate this. Please bear in mind that all schools can cope with special educational needs and common childhood complaints such as asthma or allergies.

Supporting evidence must be submitted by the deadline, for example, a letter from a registered health professional such as a doctor, setting out the reasons why the school in question is essential. Your application will not be considered under this criterion if you do not provide the supporting evidence.

Applications on medical, physical or psychological grounds will be considered by the school and a panel of senior officers at Hampshire County Council. All information submitted will be regarded as confidential. If either party (the preferred school or the panel of officers) does not consider admission to the school to be essential, then the application will be considered against the remaining admission criteria e.g. living within the catchment area.

If you are making an application to a church school and wish to apply under the church criteria of the school's admission policy.

For each church school you apply to, you must complete a Supplementary Information Form which asks for declaration and verification of your Christian commitment.

You must ask the school or the County Admissions Team for their Supplementary Information Form, and complete and return it to the school before the relevant deadline.

If you do not submit a completed valid Supplementary Information Form, your application cannot be considered under the church criterion and your child may not be offered a place as a result of this missing information.
